every day i question whether or not i should save up for an mpc, i watch your videos and tell myself, i don’t need to buy beer tonight. huge fan!

[@angtongteron199]

Am dying to get 2000xl!!!

[@movieking6844]

Buying a mpc is definitely a good investment

[@scrummyvision]

i got my mpc1000 a few years ago, i was so mystified by the MPC workflow and really loved the level of control i had vs the sp404. now i have a live mkii, and it's my favorite instrument i've ever used or played. def recommend saving up, so much fun!!

[@lanirus7515]

MPCOne is great even if u got no music background can speak from experience

[@MyDeadFriendz]

I have a short attention span, I'm always skipping around videos on KZbin, but I find myself always vibing out to these videos, and I end up watching the whole thing....so dope✌🏻

[@mpchead]

Hey I know what that's like, I've been editing stuff to make it more so that people don't skip too much, I see that it's working. Thanks dude ✌🏼

[@takseek1143]

Like the nostalgic video feeling feels like I’m in the 90’s watching you make fat beats

[@blasthousemusic]

Always loved the fader and the metronome on the 2000xl. You hear it but it stays out the way.. amazing work bro

[@rossilove]

create beats is the good harmonious therapy!

[@smokypaige4857]

Super Dope.

[@TheNathtube]

Lovey shuffling hats with the dreamy blunted jazz vibe, mad fresh

[@cbanks7840]

That kick sounding like Wu! Nice... digging your channel

[@spearPYN]

lol it sounds nuthin like Wu...people nowadays thinkin some new school lo-fi sounds like 90s. You better go back and relisten to 36 Chambers...The classic RZA sound is aggressive and melodic at the same time...Listen to Protect Ya Neck beat and restate your statement. There is no aggression in those new lofi beats. In the early 90s we were poor, frustrated, wildin -- thats why it was reflected in hard core aggressive music.... This music right here is not aggressive...not at all...

[@1234DLTS]

This beat is beautiful bruh and very well orchestrated peace.

[@BulgBeats]

such a fire beat got me writing 🙏🏼

[@Inspirmentalist]

crankin out some heat from the mpc!!! makes me miss my mpc1000!

[@Sizalyth]

Just what I needed right now. Finished my college work and drinking green tea.

You did a really great job with this beat. It make me want to go make music lol

[@augustwest4680]

Dude you make it look so effortless. That’s amazing, it’s got the jazzy house vibe I dig a lot!

[@augustwest4680]

Quick question: are you running everything through the 303 to get it to all sound from the same source? Or is that more tuning/sound selection. The drum technique I try to emulate is the one I saw you do a while back. Keep it up man!

[@mpchead]

Thanks man, I use the 202 more for resampling. Getting more dirty vibes from the 202 and filter and sample it back in the XL. I run the beat through it sometimes.

[@3nochendtimesmusic925]

You got a good collection of wax I used to sample off records back on the dayz when I first started being a dj using a gemini sampler.Well this the new way with MPC 2000.I currently used the akai MPD226 for midi controller when making tracks. I really enjoyed your video and this laid-back beat you putting together. 👍🔥 Subscribed 🔔

yeah I enjoyed the drums a lot, those went through the Sp 202 and filtered again inside the XL, they sound crispy.

[@larseichberg3221]

Old school nah? That's Dope Hip hop point blank period that is a banger

[@raggahiphop46]

I wish people would learn when to use the term old school. Old school IS rap records from 1979 to 1983/84

[@IllusionistBeatsOfficial]

@@raggahiphop46 according to who? I've always thought what constitutes 'old school' was relative to the age of the person speaking. To my generation, old school means 90s!

[@youtubenatan]

Do you have a roll effect on the Boss sampler? I used to have the Boss Dr. Groove 202 back in 2004, and man! There was a roll effect I think where the BASS button is, and when I would turn that on, and put it to the fastest speed possible, and slightly tap or hit a kick or snare, you wouldn't believe how thick, punchy and heavy it made the kick and snare. It was like multiple layers were being triggered at one time with a thick compression effect. When I get the money, I am definitely getting either the Boss Dr. Groove 202, this one you got here, or the SP-404. If y'all never used the roll effect at the highest speed possible, and hit the kick and snare lightly, just do it, and see what I mean. It is something that I discovered myself messing around with the Boss Dr. Groove 202. I'm telling you, try it. Your going to be amazed if the roll effect is on the other one's. I never heard or found a better effect than the roll effect on the Boss Dr. Groove 202. I absolutely love these little stand alone synth/drum machines and I can't get enough of them. Check out my channel here to see what I'm doing with just a Roland JD-XI and Electribe 2 synth/drum machine. The possibilities are endless if you put your mind to it, and study the machine itself. Less has always been MORE for me. Be inspired and Welcome!...SBN Lifestyle

[@ZenMountain]

Ok man.

[@tolltroll]

Some maurk shit

[@BobbyWashingtonvlog]

Sounds dope!!! Question? When you flip samples in this way where no one knows where the music or voice came from you don’t have to get the samples cleared correct? It’s not like your just taking a loop from a song and repeating it, your just taking the sound elements and playing them a different way I’m i right or wrong?

[@synapsengulasch8012]

I listened to your album (listen) today on spotify and I have to say, it's the style that I like, these samples, these jazz sounds, I like that very much, I make beats myself and I wanted to ask you if you like your sounds still change something afterwards processing (Saturator, tape machine) so that this warm analog sound is created or is it sufficient that you simply take vinyl samples and that's where this warm, powerful sound comes from. I assume you only sample from vinyl right?

[@bpmone]

I use the NI Komplete 6 audio interface. is it possible to route the MPC 2000 XL with the SP 404sx and the audio interface? And if so, do you know how? 😅 Btw: fucking good video! ♥️

[@messbeatss]

this was on my birthday hahahaha

[@the00class]

can you do something like this with MPC beats software? i loved this ♥️

[@mpchead]

Yes of course you can, go for it

[@the00class]

if you can do a video doing this kind of beat , on mpc software, id love it

[@falsecitation7196]

Very J Dilla-esque, love it!

[@chadkelham5034]

Another video, another beat to vibe out to!!

[@mpchead]

🙏 thank you

[@Be18753]

That piano loop at 3:27 is great ! Did you use the 16 notes ?

[@mpchead]

Yeah it's all 16 levels, funny how a small little chops can create so much.

[@ZmatiK]

@@mpchead yeah thats crazy

[@sergiosandoval7955]

Adult Swim.

[@WONDERMALT]

this is so good. how do you get the sounds to be so warm like that? is it really because it's sampled through the mpc? analog magic? a plugin you're putting on the tracks?

[@Prodkibis]

It’s definitely because of the mpc & Sp

[@walterclements2]

MPC helps but to my understanding the 2k isn't as known for its DACs and processing like the 4k and 60. The sp compressor for sure gets you there along with some tape saturation, vinyl fx, low pass and of course, sample selection. You can absolutely get there in a saw with the right plugins and know how but the mpc and sp line almost guide you into that way of thinking. Workflow and hardware restrictions take a lot of the guess work out of trying to achieve that sound

[@walterclements2]

DAW*

[@WONDERMALT]

@@walterclements2 thanks for answering my question!

[@walterclements2]

@Charles Randolph totally! I just couldn't think of a better word but what I was getting at is that locking yourself into hardware that can get those types of sounds can usually produce better results (or is at the least easier) for people who get overwhelmed with the sheer open-endedness of a DAW

[@ra2re331]

Do you have any tips on ways to get different samples to fit together?

[@mpchead]

there's only one way, pitch. If you pitch and they still don't sound good together, maybe get a new sample.

[@ra2re331]

beats?....sampled from JAZZ records? those beats are as static as polyester pjs in the winter.

[@raggahiphop46]

Definitely not an old school hip hop beat. Never heard this kinda beat on a 1979 to 1983 rap record.
